you'll fall like a guillotine, and kneel before the queen

This gif-set convinced me to put Reign on my to-watch list, as soon as I finish Nikita.

you could travel the world but nothing comes close to the golden coast

backtothesea asked me...

So, we did an awesome presentation on Neon Genesis Evangelion back in the day and you put together AMAZING meta questions. I'd love to hear any questions or subjects that you'd love to discuss in an academic setting. Could be for a specific fandom or just about fandom in general.

You know Katy Perry*’s California Gurls video?

I would fucking love to have had the excuse to write about this one.

First of all, I find this video completely hilarious. Secondly, I am 100% sure that there is something very interesting to say about the song’s weaponization of femininity (the boob-whipcream-guns, oh my god). I don’t know what that something is, but I know it’s there. I feel like if I were forced to write and essay about this music video, I'd figure something about it out, or even get my own reading straight in my head.

*I tend not to enjoy Katy Perry's music, but I will listen to California Gurrls every time it comes on the radio.

seren_ccd asked me: what was the first piece of media that you remember really making an impression? (film, tv show, books, art, music, anything!)

That would probably be Tamora Pierce’s Alanna: The First Adventure. I remember reading that story and going ‘yes, this is, this is.’ Girl-centric fantasy about a becoming a knight? 100% right up my alley.
